Mathew Kennedy · Answer 1

The answer is: $14.76

Explanation:

To calculate the factory overhead rate per direct labor hour we must divide the total factory overhead cost over the total amount of direct labor hours.

Factory overhead rate = $15,5000,000 / 1,050,000 direct labor hours

Factory overhead rate = $14.76 per direct labor hour
